Hey Dave I have a Double yellow head too and ive read
that the male does get agresive w/ its mate and even more so
when breeding. As a matter a fact ive heard it suggested
that when you have a breeding pair its wize to clip the
males wings so that the female could escape him when he
becomes too agressive. As far as the less friendly bird
attacking the other when it tries to step up this sounds
like male jelousy. One reason the male becomes agressive in
breeding pairs is to keep the female away from other
suiters. The agressive bird just may be the male who thinks
you are trying to seduce his female.
Congratulations with the new pair. Do you plan to breed
them if they are M&F? I think ive seen you in here for some
time now what did you have before the DYHs? and how many in
your flock now?
